Tractor-trailer rolls across westbound lanes of I-94 Monday morning

BLACKMAN TWP., MI – A tractor-trailer entering I-94 from the Cooper Street ramp flipped and slid across all lanes of westbound I-94 on Monday morning, state police say.

The rollover happened about 6 a.m. Monday, May 6. Michigan State Police Trooper Greg Setla said the driver, a Jackson man in his 50s, was traveling too fast on the ramp, causing the tractor-trailer to roll on the side and block all lanes of westbound I-94.

Westbound I-94 was reopened about 7:30 a.m. as the tractor-trailer was righted. The tractor-trailer was not drivable, but Setla said there was no fuel or cargo spill.

The driver suffered minor injuries and was cited for driving too fast for the conditions.
